Quotes edit

“By the factor of his strength and popularity among the north and western tribes, Arthur had been the only man, since the extinction of Roman influence, to rule as unquestionably supreme. Save, perhaps, in the extreme north, above the line of the old Antonine Wall where not even Rome had survived for more than a handful of years. To the Pendragon the British tribes had acknowledged their homage, claiming lesser titles of king or prince beneath his senoirtiy. To Arthur, the English had also knelt, either willingly, or forced through defeat. By right of inheritance, he had been lord over his own Dumnonia and the Summer Land. Aye, Arthur had been a war-lord who commanded much power and respect.”
